Yeah, seeing the Death Troopers get clowned on in their first non-Rogue One appearance was kinda sad. They managed to make Vader threatening, why couldn't they have done the same for them?

I think they should have switched the airing order of these two parters. Opening with Yavin and Mon Mothma and Saw and Death Troopers and Rogue One references and such just seems to make more sense as a premiere.

Thanks to an episode of the Forces of Destiny microseries, we now know for a fact that Hera, Chopper, and the Ghost all survive at least until the battle of Endor. No sign of any of the rest of the Specter team in that episode though.

Tarquinn posted:Interesting. The New Republic didn't see the First Order as any sort of threat, refused to commit any military resources to fighting them, and basically were content to say "Alright Leia, you can take the retired old farts and our old cast-off hardware and go make your resistance". Then the FO blows up the Senate and the entire Republic fleet (yes, they had a small fleet. Basically not wanting to ever repeat the Clone Wars or Being The Empire, the New Republic did not have a major military force. What little they did have was basically a glorified peacekeeping force; sorta like the UN has in the real world). The First Order "reigns", not in the Empire sense of being the established force of government...but by virtue of being the only major organized military power left around.

Palpatine and some of his lieutenants were stashing hardware off in the Unknown Regions, the First Order ends up using a lot of that.

Moon Slayer posted:They're really leaning into Hera being a big part of rebellion leadership in the various comic books. She's going to be in Doctor Aphra, and she was in one of the Forces of Destiny comics that takes place on Hoth, not to mention the cartoon, where she's on Endor (though I'm not sure how canon those are). Under the Story Group, everything is equally canonical (unless it's a video game, or explicitly designated non canon; so the plot line of then Battlefront 2 campaign is canon, the multiplayer scenarios aren't, etc) So Forces of Destiny is just as canonical as Rebels which is just as canonical as The Last Jedi.

Chickenwalker posted:They're all equally canonical, in that they're all non-canonical because they were all released after George Lucas walked away from the franchise. That's...not accurate. The Story Group is in charge of the continuity now. All the stuff I listed is also as canonical as A New Hope, Attack of the Clones, etc.

So then it’s kind of interesting that one of them was Maz Kanata. Maz was always intended to be an unaffiliated Force User. The scenes of her actually using force powers didn't make in to the final cut of TFA though.

Something that I think Star Wars authors stumble on is just how BIG space is and how many sectors/systems/planets there are, and how much military might would be needed to protect or patrol it all. Sure, 25,000 ISDs sounds like an absolute fuckton...but how many is that per inhabited system the empire is ostensibly making a show of force at?

Pops Mgee posted:Pretty sure they toned it down after getting feedback from fans. Yeah, you can almost pinpoint the exact moment where fan-feedback affected the production process. With production leadtime, they had the entire first season and part of the second in the can and ready to broadcast before anything aired, but as soon as people started complaining about all the cutesy nicknames and such, the writers took that to heart and dialed that back haaaaaard. Mid season 2 they disappear almost entirely.

Claytor posted:I saw that there's already been talk about it, but I'm yet another person very confused by the fourth season treating Kanan and Hera as a will-they-won't-they thing when they felt like an established, long-term couple from the first episode on. I always took Hera and Kanan as that couple who clearly had feelings for each other, were most likely having sex on the regular, but never wanted to commit to "I love you"s or explicitly acknowledging that they were a couple. So them being open with each other about their feelings was a big step for them, even if nothing was really changing about the way they interacted beyond that.

I'm curious how the seasoning numbering is gonna go; will this be Season 7 with the Lost Missions as Season 6? Or are they gonna pull a Doctor Who and have this be Season 6, with the Lost Missions being akin to Doctor Who's Year of Specials? Edit: or maybe the lost Missions and then this 12 episode run will together be treated as Season 6

TLJ was wildly successful with critics. Something like 90+% positive. I don't see how announcing a trilogy from Rian Johnson, the guy who's last Star Wars film made a billion dollars, has an A- CinemaScore, and has that aforementioned 90+% positive critical reception is in any way a bad thing. Edit: just double checked; 91% positive from critics, per rotten tomatoes 85 on Metacritic jivjov fucked around with this message at 12:09 on Jul 27, 2018 |

There's fan backlash to literally every single movie ever made. If executives got fired every time some manchild with a superiority complex bitched on Twitter, there would never be a sequel to anything ever. TLJ performed amazingly by every reliable metric (I specifically exclude RottenTomatoes audience ratings here; people openly bragged about artificially lowering that score, plus just in general RT has no way of enforcing that people only review once or if they even saw the film) Announcing a trilogy helmed by the man behind that film is a fantastic move, and I'm honestly way more excited for his trilogy than I am for Episode IX. Solo's production and release was a mess, sure. But one bad release isn't going to end her career.

That's one of the weirdest sentiments about TLJ I can conceive of. I mean...of course it toed the line as far as "fitting in to the franchise" is concerned...but "paint by numbers" is the last thing I'd ever possibly say about it
